When the bell was just ringing, Angelica was cleaning her desk while the other students imdiately bid farewell to the teacher before sprinting as if the life on the line toward the exit. Once she was finished with her business, the classroom is now empty as the other students had already gone ho. After living in this region for a whole week by now, Angelica started to feel that the air in the surrounding has sohow changed, it's like the 'mystical power' has thickened for a reason she didn't know. It was a good thing for people like her when such a thing happened as that ant she can use her power much more, but to normal people, it's like they are living in a place where the air was poisoned and if the 'poison' inside the body reached their limit, the result would their death.
But on rare cases, so would 'awaken' to the mystical world when their body adapted to the 'mystical power', soone like her. Angelica was a very rare case as she was born with a body that was already adapted to the 'mystical power' and it didn't take her long before she could use the power within her with the help of her family.
When Angelica arrived in front of the hotel, the onlooker couldn't help but give a second glance at her as normally, no student could bear staying in a hotel for a period amount of ti with how pricy it is yet, the red-haired girl wearing a school uniform in their view had already paid for a whole month without any change on her face, with just that the onlooker understood it clearly as she must be from a rich and influential family. And knowing that, so of the n who have a good look had tried to talk to her but most of them were shut down by her gaze, as for the persistent ones, all she had to do was to call the bodyguard and she won't be seeing them anymore.
Ignoring the gazes directed to her, Angelica went to the elevator and press on the button for the 22nd Floor.
Ding!
Unlocking the door to her room, Angelica steps inside before removing her clothes one by one and put it in a corner and walks toward the closet. After browsing for a whole ten minutes, Angelica finally picked up a comfortable outfit for the day. Since it was her mother who gives her the current mission, Angelica went to the cabinet before opening it and taking a normal-looking compass with her. On her previous mission, Angelica had tried to use it for finding the killer when she arrived at the scene in the alleyway, but it was to no avail. The compass didn't give any response to her, in the end, she had asked her mother and the replied was, soone of that caliber definitely has a way to bypass the power from the compass, so it was not a surprise that it didn't work as you expected.
And 'soone of that caliber' right now was currently running away from the Ogre that was chasing after her, she only stopped when the latter had given up on the chase, finally, she could take a breath before continuing her grinding. Sheila had accidentally stepped inside the range of the boss when she was dodging the attack from the hobgoblins which imdiately alert the Ogre from afar and right after killing off the hobgoblins, the Ogre was already right behind her. But this was another matter that was better yet not known to the two.
Once the compass was in her hands, Angelica imdiately used it to see if there's any mber from The Church in the district. Though it takes a while, eventually she received a response and within her mind, though the other presence is far away from her current location, she didn't expect to feel one of their presence directly above her. Even more of a shock was that the presence sohow feels familiar to her, she even began to consider whether to give a visit. After pondering for a few minutes, Angelica decides to head upstairs and once she arrived in front of the door of the room before knocking on the door a couple of tis.
"Yes, yes, I'm coming."
Once she feels the presence coming closer towards the door, Angelica imdiately retreated to a corner to hide before sneakily look toward the person who ca out of the room with a confused expression on her face as she looked around, when she didn't find any person in the hallways, the blond-haired girl went back into her room.
"What is that girl doing here? I rembered her telling that she would be staying in Italy for a couple of months for business, but then why is she here? She is not the type to lie, did her schedule change or sothing?"
Angelica softly muttered to herself with a complex expression on her face. But even so, just what in the world is the church doing in this remote place that required the presence of a Saintess? Did they find out the mysterious specialist that killed the Outsider? Although they didn't have a Compass of Guidance, they do have an artifact of their own. But from the presence that she felt spreading all over the district, she didn't believe it. They must have co here for another purpose.
Now that she knows that they are here, she needs to investigate more on what is their purpose before reporting to her superior- Mother. Her previous mission ended up with nothing that can be used as a result, now that she was given another mission, Angelica was determined to do her best. For the next few days, Angelica spent most of her ti secretly trailing after the mber of the church, and it was not long before she figured out their purpose. And on it was on the sa day that she almost died due to her negligence and if not for soone coming in to save her, she would have not survived to this day.
But her mind shook when she looked up to the person who had co to her rescue, it was none other Sheila, who was also staring back at her with a wry smile on her face.
